Executive Order 13993 of January 20, 2021

Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. Immigrants have helped strengthen America’s families,
communities, businesses and workforce, and economy, infusing the United
States with creativity, energy, and ingenuity. The task of enforcing the
immigration laws is complex and requires setting priorities to best serve
the national interest. The policy of my Administration is to protect national
and border security, address the humanitarian challenges at the southern
border, and ensure public health and safety. We must also adhere to due
process of law as we safeguard the dignity and well-being of all families
and communities. My Administration will reset the policies and practices
for enforcing civil immigration laws to align enforcement with these values
and priorities.

Sec. 2. Revocation. Executive Order 13768 of January 25, 2017 (Enhancing
Public Safety in the Interior of the United States), is hereby revoked. The
Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security,
the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of the
Office of Personnel Management, and the heads of any other relevant executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall review any agency actions
developed pursuant to Executive Order 13768 and take action, including
issuing revised guidance, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law,
that advances the policy set forth in section 1 of this order

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed
to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency,
or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and
subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party
against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers,
employees, or agents, or any other person.
